Under development by the Joint SIAP System Engineering Organization (JSSEO), Arlington, Va., the ambitious SIAP (Single Integrated Air Picture) will allow U.S. military service personnel and allies to share a single graphical representation of the battlespace. This will be accomplished using data generated by multiple surface and air sensors and broadcast via a sophisticated logistical information distribution system. Now, JSSEO and NAVSEA (Naval Sea Systems Command) are designing SIAP to integrate with naval weapons. At build-out, the SIAP and will help users make better, more informed decisions by linking military forces and their tactical situations. |
The critical nature of the SIAP necessitated the Navy to select an operating system featuring hard-real-time deterministic performance. It required an environment that would provide reliability, maintainability and availability, along with the interoperability of truly open systems code. POSIX® conformance was crucial; in fact, to support system interoperability and software reuse, all Navy OA systems are mandated to employ a POSIX-conformant operating system or a Linux®-based, open-systems approach. The only certified POSIX-conformant RTOS, LynxOS® was the natural choice and the Navy hasn't looked back since. |
